The previous workshop, on 17 September 2024, was dedicated to clinical operations, management and patient engagement. Key experts attended and presented, including: Inge Christoffer Olsen (Oslo universitetssykehus), Clare Relton (Queen Mary University of London), Jacques Demotes Mainard (ECRIN (European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network), Lorna Lean (European Medicines Agency), and Nikos Dedes (European Patients' Forum). Speakers addressed different aspects of clinical operations, management and patient engagement through 5 insightful sessions, during which challenges and solutions were reported and actively discussed with the audience, which paved the way to potential future developments.

The CoMeCT project aims to enhance Europe's clinical research preparedness and response to infectious disease outbreaks with epidemic potential. CoMeCT is funded by the European Union (Horizon Europe programme) under grant agreement n° 101136531, and will run until 2026. This project involves six partners (INSERM, Ecraid, ECRIN, NIPH, PENTA, and UNIVR) and is coordinated by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH).
